One little thing I love about @BNZ is they let you pick what hold music to listen to, and you can select no music

Apple's loss in court is immediately opening up a whole new world for app developers. Entire business models were impossible under the old 30% regime. Look at this beautifully simply flow from Stripe! IAP might still have a place, but for many, taking payments on the web is 👌

Stripe 🤝iOS developers Big news iOS app developers! You can now accept payments with @stripe outside of your app, with no iOS app store commissions. The Stripe team 🧑🍳cooked up a quick guide walking you through how. Go live now! Docs in the 🧵

@YannisTzortzis @levelsio Modern ACs (like we have outside of America) have variable speed compressors, so they can scale up or down with load. Typical American ACs cannot, they're either on or off.

@bobbyg603 @theo I have experience with both, it really isn't. Never been rejected by Google, a couple dozen rejections from apple for the stupidest things. Plus you can side load apks on Android really easily.
English
I legit think Apple’s risking it all right now.
Creating apps has never been easier. Releasing the app is harder than making it.
If they don’t reduce the friction, they will lose.
Cynthia@yescynfria
there should be an easier way to release silly little apps to just ur friends without needing the app store

Public Service Announcement that you should never install deep-equal into your project as it pulls in a whopping 50 dependencies!

@soychotic @TheRealSethDer1 async and concurrent are not really the same thing. waiting for a timeout? async, but not concurrent. spawning a bunch of threads to do some work, and blocking until they all finish? concurrent, but not async
English
@TheRealSethDer1 Yeah I just wish they’d used a different word because it feels insane to write “async” when I want stuff to run concurrently
English
@jambarree @AskYatharth That's not completely true. Electromigration can cause chips to dissipate more heat, leading to thermal or power throttling. That would only really be noticeable running the chip flat out for a while though, so I don't think it would have a noticeable effect on smartphones.
English
@AskYatharth That kind of degradation would cause bit-flips, cosmic-ray type errors, which could cause bad data or crashes but would not have an impact on speed
English
why do old phones run… slow?
with the exact same software. surely the chips don't literally age?
English
@oswaldspangled @indiranegi @Nuclearjunkie @pronounced_kyle Everything gets harder the higher frequency / smaller wavelength you go. E.g. lenses are opaque to EUV light, so all focusing needs to be done via curved mirrors

I want to understand why what TSMC does is so hard.
Any articles/books etc folks can recommend?

@WebReflection @wesbos @JosBraulio you mean to release the underlying buffer resource? the garbage collector will take care of that
English
@wesbos @JosBraulio Wouldn’t that require also to finish the request via .text(), as example, to avoid dangling promises around? 🤔
still handy but it might require a tad of extra care

@sebastienlorber @rniwa_dev Apple's ports = WebKit on Apple platforms, so Safari, embedded WebViews, etc. CF is CoreFoundation, an Apple OS API
English
@rniwa_dev Nice
What does "Apple's ports" means? CF?

@ryanflorence There's no reason why compilers cannot scale, especially with good caching. The problem is bundlers (and webpack especially) IMO.
English
My biggest concern is that it requires a compiler.
I’ve been trying to dig myself out of the compiler hole because it’s the biggest hurdle to “infinite scale” JS frameworks face.
Multi second rebuilds is unacceptable and embarrassing for us and our peer frameworks.

What concerns do you have about RSC, React Server Actions, and the assumed trajectory of React? I’m asking as a maintainer of probably the biggest React app dependency, React Router (not Remix). LMK! 🤓

Probably the best thing you'll see today.
In 2017, a group of developers hilariously competed for who could create worst volume control interface in the world.
The results 🧵

@GergelyOrosz The CSS class being the same is most likely a symptom rather than the cause. Twitter uses React Native for Web, which renders styles using atomic CSS - one class per property. Components that set the same CSS property to the same value will get the same class applied.
English
The auto-generated style class for all the action buttons seem to now be the same as for all the title elements, which causes this change - or, I'd argue, regression.
Such regressions are common when moving fast, pushing to prod. We should, realistically, get used to it.
English
To the dev on the Twitter web team whom this might concern:
That change, which turned all action buttons bold for no good reason, can you please revert these? My eyes hurt.
Alternatively, use a feature flag to test these changes first, over a global rollout?
English
@dan_abramov Sounds a bit like the (fantastic) Every Layout every-layout.dev
